Make Art, Make Change

Join local Chicago artists, Allie Hasson and Irene Lim, to create visionary postcards for social change. Get inspired by a viewing of mixed media postal-themed artworks by Allie. Come together to explore and create community art that envisions new ideas for a better future. We want to offer a space to make art together, encourage discussion, and use our creative time to build connections and relationships. This class is for everyone - adults, artists and non-artists alike.

What’s Included:

• Brief viewing of Allie’s mixed media collection of postal-themed, counter-propaganda resistance works
• Discussion on how to create artwork / imagine new ideas that envision a better world
• Direction, supplies and inspiration to create your own mailable visionary artwork
• Materials: postcards, postage stamps, paint, pens, glue, collage papers, rubber stamps, typewriter
• Your artwork ready to mail to your Congress member or other person of your choice, and the feeling that you have contributed to the imagining of a better world!
